Slow Internet....

My service provider let me know that there are 2 cables giving problem and thats why the net will be extra slow until repaired.
Just wondering if anyone else was/is effected by these cable problems?

South African internet speeds have been hit by breakdowns in the two undersea cables that connect the local internet with the world.
Separate failures near Congo and Gabon have been reported, and now there's a new problem: off the coast of the UK.
It remains unclear when the cables will be back online.





Hope everyone is having a great day/night.cheers

In America everything is fast an instant (that's what people want).

$20.00 a month gives high speed internet and i can connect many gadgets at the same time with no problems. banana
Internet shutdowns are a tool deployed by governments to quash civil disobedience amongst their citizens, and often go hand-in-hand with more sweeping — and sometimes brutal — government clampdowns Often governments cite public safety as a reason for shutting off the internet, or curbing the spread of misinformation. (Maybe) "Suspension of free movement, internet and basic freedoms cannot be an arbitrary exercise of power… expression of dissent or disagreement against a government decision cannot be reason for internet suspension," the court said last week.

Slow is good but sometimes 'nothing' makes a guy a lil worried. laugh

Hi Ami,

Do you sometimes share some of your gadgets with friends?
Hi Mark,
I think our government is too busy figuring out new ways to rob state coffers
to worry about deploying petty Internet shutdowns or be concerned with such.
